A bus service between Liverpool and Heswall is “leaving passengers stranded” along the route according to a candidate for next month’s local elections.
Yesterday, Stagecoach revealed some of its services, including the 471 route between Liverpool and Heswall, in Wirral, will face disruption until May 6. Lucy Johnson, the Liberal Democrat candidate for the Wirral Council seat of Heswall, said residents are becoming increasingly frustrated by the unreliability of the 471 service, due to repeated timetable changes and cancelled services.
Ms Johnson said: “This week, Stagecoach was supposed to be re-introducing a half-hourly direct service from Heswall to Liverpool. But on Monday they announced that several buses would not be running for at least the next fortnight because of ‘driver shortage’.
